- Anaphase refers to a phase in mitosis.
- In anaphase, the central spindle microtubules start to bundle and position the actomyosin contractile ring that, during telophase, starts the formation of the cleavage furrow.
- Continued furrow ingression depends on the contraction of the actomyosin, leading to the formation of the midbody, which finally breaks during abscission at cytokinesis.
